Pinterest Inspired Outfit

One thing I've tried to make good on this year is allowing myself to still wear nice things even if I'm not at the weight I want to be.  It's honestly been really tough for me to do this - spending money on clothes of a size that I don't want to be - it feels like a waste!  But the fact of the matter is, I don't know how long I will be at this weight, and I should be living everyday as if it were my last.  Therefore, I want to feel put together and not frumpy.  <br /><br />So, I'm saying all that to say.... :)<br /><br />I've found Pinterest to be a huge style inspiration for me.  I use it mostly to get ideas of different ways I can wear the current clothes I already own.  I tend to wear the same things in the same way over and over. <br /><br />My "Pinterest" style this week was a grey ensemble I put together with inspiration from this pin:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ8SBp7EYeUQo86DWJ_j4MZX9FhfMQbxgEDtk1nlzBO62QeQr78Vh-SbhWIVJ0FXlRKxF2Pwi3PVIll-v39Y_7ERz_uyI3vSHlw-_YmOrqZEljZ6M_Ipm3V4z_i9M1Wlb7NgYh7K1XHcg/s1600/fashion+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ8SBp7EYeUQo86DWJ_j4MZX9FhfMQbxgEDtk1nlzBO62QeQr78Vh-SbhWIVJ0FXlRKxF2Pwi3PVIll-v39Y_7ERz_uyI3vSHlw-_YmOrqZEljZ6M_Ipm3V4z_i9M1Wlb7NgYh7K1XHcg/s400/fashion+pic.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>  <br />Obviously, the above is for a more casual look - which I can certainly get down with.  However, I wanted to take that look to the office as well.  So I went with this:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7P_TwimqWKn14ZDxil8QZqeBaf1mbir3-ZYmpW_KhaGjQiDZLX41MMmTQKUQX1PGqY7188smKhfVKb_bwXFSuOffA2LJGPhu_vaJQ8GjgD1IRQGfeZMgDGbZiyxSrYnh21B19JF5HcEU/s1600/grey+clothes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7P_TwimqWKn14ZDxil8QZqeBaf1mbir3-ZYmpW_KhaGjQiDZLX41MMmTQKUQX1PGqY7188smKhfVKb_bwXFSuOffA2LJGPhu_vaJQ8GjgD1IRQGfeZMgDGbZiyxSrYnh21B19JF5HcEU/s400/grey+clothes.jpg" width="311" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">click for bigger pic!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>There's lots of grey going on... but I liked it.  I think the earrings helped keep the color noticeable enough since my necklace wasn't quite as chunky and full of color as the original.<br /><br />By the way, posing is so awkward for me.  I hate that whole hand-on-the-hip pose.... it seems so fake and staged......and vain.  But how else can I do it? <br /><br />The necklace is from Target and was $14.99.  The shirt I bought just this past weekend on clearance for $5 at Kohls!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO48JoWm_tZKFpdIXjj-_ww9VPB4VmVbGAorqw416Q2qclLJQrivi_kB6eVsXeUMRD-4JUVCtN9L-DBLed49I_bQq1_d5AvZ7oFVS5mGiBtcUP0InRTLGOFuTPOMB1k0OI2O5OVzPmTC8/s1600/necklace+close+up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO48JoWm_tZKFpdIXjj-_ww9VPB4VmVbGAorqw416Q2qclLJQrivi_kB6eVsXeUMRD-4JUVCtN9L-DBLed49I_bQq1_d5AvZ7oFVS5mGiBtcUP0InRTLGOFuTPOMB1k0OI2O5OVzPmTC8/s400/necklace+close+up.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />I will have to try this look with jeans and see how it goes.  Your thoughts on this look?<br /><br /><b style="color: #674ea7;">Do you use Pinterest for style inspiration?</b>  I am style challenged, so I need all the help I can get.  Let me know - I'd be happy to follow you!<br /><br />
